Pediatric Asthma: Triggers

What Things Make Asthma Worse & How Can You Control Them?

Children with asthma may have airways that are chronically inflamed (swollen).

Therefore, the airways are sensitive to things that make asthma worse. Things that make asthma worse are often called asthma triggers. These asthma triggers, either singly or together, cause symptoms in children with asthma. Identifying and controlling or treating things that make asthma worse are essential to good asthma management.
